Comment on Show HN: Yolobox – Run AI coding agents with full sudo without nuking home dir

Thanks for sharing this! I've been experimenting with something similar.

It would be helpful if the README explained how this works so users understand what they're trusting to protect them. I think it's worth noting that the trust boundary is a Docker container, so there's still a risk of container escape if the agent exploits (or is tricked into exploiting) a kernel vulnerability.

Have you looked into rootless Podman? I'm using rootless + slirp4netns so I can minimize privileges to the container and prevent it from accessing anything on my local network.

I'd like to take this a step further and use Podman machines, so there's no shared kernel, but I haven't been able to get volume mounting to work in that scenario.

Good feedback, thank you. We expanded the README: https://github.com/finbarr/yolobox/commit/ad776012f82f9d67e1...

Cool, those updates are helpful!
